Overview
The HMC517LC4 is a high dynamic range GaAs pHEMT MMIC Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) produced by Analog Devices Inc. This component is housed in a leadless, Pb-free, RoHS compliant SMT package, making it suitable for surface mount manufacturing techniques. It operates within the 17 to 26 GHz frequency range, providing 19 dB of small signal gain and a noise figure of 2.5 dB. The amplifier is also capable of delivering an output IP3 of +23 dBm and a P1dB output power of +13 dBm, enabling it to function as a LO driver for balanced, I/Q, or image reject mixers.
